Portland

Three friends, including the filmmaker, rendez-vous in Portland by hitchhiking or train-hopping from different cities. After a week of arguments, soup kitchens, brushes with the law, and bad weather, each leaves with a different memory of the trip. (From Snider’s official site.)

Fireworks

Synopsis: In FIREWORKS I released all the explosive pyrotechnics of a dream. Inflammable desires dampened by day under the cold water of consciousness are ignited that night by the libertarian matches of sleep and burst forth in showers of shimmering incandescence. These imaginary displays provide a temporary release. A dissatisfied dreamer awakes, goes out in the night seeking a “light” and is drawn through the needle’s eye. A dream of a dream, he returns to a bed less empty than before. (From Canyon Cinema.)

9/64 O Christmas Tree

Synopsis: In 9/64 O Christmas Tree Kren offers a more visually descriptive development of a Muehl “action”. The images have been chosen to follow a more dramatic sequence, probably because the action itself contained a wide range of images and materials. (From Six Pack Film.)

As I Was Moving Ahead, Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty

Synopsis: A compilation of home movie footage of the Mekas family and their friends captured by patriarch Jonas over a period of 30 years.

Pink Flamingos

Waiting for NESARA

Synopsis: Filmed on location in Utah in the months between September 11th, 2001 and the start of the war in Iraq, WAITING FOR NESARA documents the true story of The Open Mind Forum, a messianic group of Salt Lake City ex-Mormons, and the radical faith that binds them together in the wake of 9/11. The group anxiously await the implementation of NESARA—a miraculous secret law hundreds of years in the making— that they believe was blocked and covered up by the Bush administration. The group believes that the 9/11 attacks were Bush’s first attempt to delay NESARA’s implementation, and that the Iraq war will be his second. (From official website.)

Breathdeath

Synopsis: Dedicated to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. A surrealistic fantasy based on the 15th century woodcuts of the dance of the dead.

A film experiment that deals with the photoreality and the surrealism of life. It is a collage-animation that cuts up photos and newsreel film and reassembles them, producing an image that is a mixture of unexplainable fact (Why is Harpo Marx playing a harp in the middle of a battlefield?) with the inexplicable act (Why is there a battlefield?). It is a black comedy, a fantasy that mocks at death … a parabolic parable. (From Canyon Cinema.)

Palace of Stains

Synopsis: There’s a new family in the town of Lydiaville. The Griepers, rich off Methuseleh’s (Keith Lowell Jensen) television ministry, move into the house on the hill and the Cosgraves are not too happy about it. Meanwhile, the Cosgraves’ arch enemies, the Montgomerys, have lost their entire fortune and a Turkish gangster (Dutch Falconi) is after an old debt owed by patriarch Barry (Steven Buell). These three warring clans fight dirty. Palace of Stains has a cast of 56 and was shot in one day. (From Moricz’s website.)
